USPACOM Vigilant During North Korean Missile Launch

CAMP H.M. SMITH, Hawaii - U.S. Department of Defense systems detected and tracked today what we assess was a North Korean missile launch into space at 2:29 p.m. HST.

At no time was the missile or the resultant debris a threat to the United States or its allies.

U.S. Pacific Command's joint military forces remain vigilant in the face of North Korean provocations and are fully committed to working closely with our Republic of Korea and Japanese allies to maintain security in the region.
